Have you ever noticed the big blower sticking out of the hood of a hopped up hot-rod? Or how about the loud exhaust when the throttle is opened on a high horsepower monster machine? Have you ever wondered why the big intake system or loud exhaust on these powerplants? Its not all about chrome, looking cool and noise- no really, its not.
The mission of MachineWhisperer is to act as a resource for the exchange of knowledge in maintenance, diagnosis, repair and upgrade of most common machines.
In direct opposition to a 'throw-away' society: through knowledge, empowering people to interact with machines in a new way to reduce resource use and abuse.
Together, lets find the path of least environmental, economic, and social damage while allowing machines to assist us in living better for longer.

I,C,P,E or Suck, Squish, Bang, Blow... an engine operates HOW?
A friend asked me the other day to diagnose the misfire on his little car and recommend how to fix it when we got onto a sidetracked into a discussion about how the engine actually functions and makes power. I have answered this question so many times over the years for so many people that I figured I should just get it down in writing. So here goes- Caution though, there be Physics ahead!
This explanation needs to be fairly basic to accomplish the goal of assisting folk with no real physics background to get the ideas here. I will not bore anyone with the math behind it, just the concepts and functional ideas.
